Fast volume rendering and cutting for finite element model

Authors: Yang, X., Gu, Y., Li, Y. and Guan, Z.

Journal: Computer-Aided Civil and Infrastructure Engineering

Volume: 18

Issue: 2

Pages: 121-131

ISSN: 1093-9687

DOI: 10.1111/1467-8667.00304

Abstract:

Based on the incremental slicing, a direct volume rendering algorithm for finite element meshes is proposed. To improve the algorithm efficiency, the element compensation method and sliced polygon forming method are presented. The image quality is improved greatly by the hybrid rendering of both the volume data and geometric surfaces. We also integrate a volume cutting method with arbitrary convex polyhedron into the volume rendering pipeline. This offers the user more flexibility to explore the data distribution inside structures.
